That's the problem though. You can give all of the money in the world to the banks, but that won't help anyone get loans. Everyone is upside down on their mortgages and owes more money on their houses than it's worth by hundreds of thousands of dollars. No bank in their right fucking mind is going to give them a loan!

All this is gonna do is bail out the banks. It's not going to fix the problem for someone who owes $600k on a house now worth $200k.
